Entrez Programming Utilities (E-utilities)

The E-utilities are the public API to the NCBI Entrez system and allow access to all Entrez databases including PubMed, PMC, Gene, Nuccore and Protein. The E-utilities are a suite of eight server-side programs that accept a fixed URL syntax for search, link and retrieval operations. A companion package named Entrez Direct consists of several executables that allow the E-utilities to be called directly from a UNIX command line.
